fne Niagara = loss.

Captain Crowley of the Australasia,
made the following statement in re-
gard to the Niagara:
The vessels were laboring heavily
but We expected to pull around White
fish Point all right, when it was hop
cd some relief would be found from
the gale, which came from the north
west. They were three or four miles
from the shore and had ten miles to
make to weather the point, when the
Niagara suddenly collapsed and sank,
seemingly without warning. Whether
the strain Of the bow line tore out her
bow, or her back was broken while
her ends were simultaneously elevated
by the seas, or whether she was simply
swamped by the rush Of the waves, is
not known and probably meyer will
be. -
The gale which was raging at the
time is said to be the heaviest exper-
fenced on Lake Superior for some time.
Captain Cummings Of the steam barge
w. l." " hetmore, which was within
three-quarters Of Il mile ofthe Niagara
when she foundercd, states he was
powerless to render any aid whatever
to the untortuuates Oh board her.
Part OF her crew were seen to at

y Chicago editor raises ACQUISITION
of doubt over the authority OF the
Bible Psalms. 1t savs those beauti-
ful, eloquent, and marvellous psalms
we're never written by David, be
cause no man living has a scrap of
King Dayi1!s penmanship, and be-
sides David was sort of cowboy, and
afterward became giant killer.
There were several old prophets of
learning, dignity and experience who
houriahcd about that time to whom
the authorship could be properly
ascribed. 1t suggests that DonnelIy
might find in one of these psalms a
cipher fixing the authorship.-Ex.
Perhaps it was DonnelIy himself
that wrote the psalms.

In Brief, and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disorder
ed livery is misery. Indigestion is
foe to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus
is one of the most complicated and
wonderful things in existence. 1t is
easily put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry,
late hours, irregular habit, and
many other things which ought not
to be, have made the American peo-
pie nation of dyspeptics.
But &reen's August Flower has
done wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that
they can enjoy their meats and be
happy.
Remember.-No happiness with
out health. But Green's August
Flower brings health and happiness
to the dyspeptic. Ask your drug

a body of men of well-known South
ern proclivities attended to share in
the ceremony, and no part of the as
semblage was more welcomed or en-
tered into the spirit Of the occasion
with more enthusiasm than those
now fully reconciled adherents of
the South. After the ceremony at
the graves, all hands adjourned to
partake of hard tack and bacon as 4
matter of curiosity or taste, or n
very bountiful and sumptuous repast
of other and costlier materials. The
whole affair was replete with inter
esting and affecting incidents, espe-
cially those connected with the at
tendance of the relatives of the dead
soldiers. The venerable mother of
the Farling brothers was there-a
now childless widow-and while her
soul was wrung for the beloved off
spring of her early love, her face
bore stern expression, reminding
one of the matron who, Of old, en-
Joined her son when departing for
battle to return WITH his shield or
ON it. She mourns for her dead he
roes as only mother can mourn, but
her heart must have swelled with
pride at the recital of their many
acts of gallantry which she could
hear on every side from those who
fought side by side with them in the
time that tried mems souls. And
the poor Confederate! Who can tell
what loving hearts may have been
aching for him these long, long,
weary years, and what tear dimmed
eyes may be even now straining in
vain for the dear one who will never
return? May God pity the bereaved
of both sides and give eternal peace
to the victims of early strife. Poor
fellows!
"Their swords are rust,
Their bones are dust,
Their souls are with the saints we trust"
But they did not die in tvain if
the stirring memories and tender
sentiments evoked over their honor
ed graves continue to exalt the spir-
it of patriotism and cement the ties
of brotherhood between Americans
of every section Of the land and
every shade of political opinion.
Post Commander Graham, Albur-
tus Spenser and a Reverend gentle
man, whose name we understood as
being Montgomery, addressed the
assemblage, and in very eloquent
terms referred to the chief object Of
the ceremony-that of promoting
the good will which so happily ex-
lists between the veterans of both ar
mics and the daily growing harmony
between the once warning sections of
our country. Mr.. Spenser, it is UNI
derstood, will use his great influence
towards the erection of common
monument for the dead of both ar
mics at the little cemetery at Sam
piers Manor, and what he under
takes will surely be accomplished.
